There’s this fic on AO3 that, according to my history page, I have visited 176 times.  Which means I alone am responsible for 176 hits on that fic.  I commented on some of the chapters, but only a few, because I feel like a stalker when I comment every week.  I gave it kudos, but I can only give it one, even though it’s one of my favorites.

So just remember, when you’re looking at that hit count and wondering why you don’t have that same number of kudos (divided by the number of chapters, because each one of those also counts as a hit), it might be because some people out there love your fic.  They read it when they’re feeling down.  They open it in the waiting room at the doctors office, or in the lonesome dark of night.  They turn to it in celebration when they did something right.  They open it over and over so they can send the link to their friends, or just to revisit the characters that they love.  They checked it ten times in one day, hoping that you had updated.

A disparity between hits and kudos does not mean that your readers didn’t like your fic, or that they were too lazy to hit the kudos button.  It means that some of them came back, and there’s nothing that makes me happier about my writing than that.

Fanfiction Club: The Rules

This idea came to me when I woke up first thing this morning.

Katharine: I’ve invited you here because I crave the deadliest game…

Arsinoe, nodding: Knife Monopoly.

Katharine: I was actually going to hunt you for sport, but now I’m really interested in whatever Knife Monopoly is.

I hope you find someone you can’t live without.

Left at the Altar: Chapter 2

Emma kicks Neal out of her house and her life. Killian tries to return some lost property.

Also on Ao3 and FFN.

Getting Neal out of her house was harder than she’d anticipated. For whatever reason, he seemed to think they were just going to go back to the way things were. Like he hadn’t humiliated her in front of all those people the day before. 

“We’re over,” she stated for what felt like the tenth time. “You don’t want a commitment, and I don’t want you hanging around where you’re not needed. I’m tired of carrying you, Neal.”

“I’ve got nowhere to go.”

“That’s not my problem!” she shouted. “Get out!”

Neal muttered something under his breath as he got out of the chair he’d been man-spreading in. His sour disposition didn’t stop him from one last attempt to get back into her good graces though.
